Free Never Have A Vampire's Baby by Jade White Page B

can’t help the speed we’re moving at, it’s almost definitely the bond.”
                  Suzanna was silent for a moment. When she spoke again, there was a smile in her voice. “ Almost definitely? Why, Kimberly Moody--are you in looove?”
                  She pictured Luke’s face, and her heart did a somersault in response. “God. Is there even a difference between a love bond and...real love, whatever that means?”
                  “Do you care?” Suzanna countered.
                  Kim paused. “No,” she realized. “I don’t. This feels incredible and I want to keep going with it. I really don’t care where it’s coming from.”
                  Suzanna laughed. “ That’s the Kim I know. Well, do you want my opinion?”

                  Kim chuckled. “I don’t know, do I?”
                  “Fair point,” Suzanna said promptly. “But yeah, it might be useful to get an outsider’s perspective. It helps me when I feel I’m in over my head.”
                  Kim took a breath. “Okay, shoot.”
                  The smile was back in Suzanna’s voice. “You’ve never been like this in a relationship. Even when they were good, you were never you-- which is why I always thought you didn’t like them. You were always changed in some fundamental way.” She stopped and seemed to be mulling over her words before continuing. “This seems to be different, though. Not just because it’s new or with a vampire. There’s something about this man that you really seem to click with on a level I can’t even see. You should see your face when you talk about him.”
                  Kim groaned, but Suzanna laughed.
                  “It’s not bad,” her best friend said. “Because it’s not some puppy-love version of you. It’s you, but...alive in a way I’ve never seen you before. It’s really you. And so while I think that either you’re right to not care if it’s a bond or not, I don’t think this is a simple bond.” Suzanna paused, and her voice was careful when she spoke again. “And that’s the real reason I’m afraid.”
                  Kim didn’t know what to say. “Wow.”
                  “Yeah, wow.”
                  A knock from the front door made Kim jump and almost drop her phone. “Oh! That’s him, I gotta go.”
                  Suzanna laughed. “Okay! Love you, bye!”

                  “Love you!” Kim hung up and bounded to the front door, flinging it open so fast Luke was in mid-knock when they came face to face.
                  “Hi,” he said, eyes widening when he saw her outfit. “Um. I thought we were staying in?”
                  Kim touched her curled hair and looked down at her dark green dress with its cinched waist and low scoop neck. “Oh, we are. I just thought I’d wear something classier than a bathrobe this time.”
                  He walked in, closed the door, and took her by the waist, pressing her against the wall as he kissed her hungrily. He moved so quickly that she only had a second to take in his tall, muscular frame before it was grinding against her. Kim was too stunned to remember to breathe; his hands had slid up under her dress and cupped her ass before she knew what was happening, and she focused on matching the motion of his darting tongue.
                  Oh my God, Suzanna’s right, she thought deliriously, wrapping her arms around his neck and parting her thighs to let his body press into her more firmly. This is something different. I don’t know what the fuck this is.
                  Luke pulled back from the kiss, gasping, his eyes blazing with desire. He took a step away from her, and then another, his pained expression implying he was using every ounce of
